Hello, welcome and thanks for asking your question. My name is*****'ll be assisting you with your question today. Please give me a few moments to review your question. Also keep in mind that I do not know your skill level or abilities so I may be asking a lot of questions before I can answer. In some cases we may need to respond to each other quite a bit before I can come up with a possible solution for you. As far as phone calls, If you didn't request it, it is most likely the Website prompting you, not me. A Live Call is a "Premium Service" and will cost more money. I prefer communicating via this site, but in some cases a phone call may be recommended.

Is the check engine light coming on while driving? Has it been scanned for codes yet??

What is the make and model of the scan tool that was used to scan for codes? This truck has two modules, ECM and PCM, some "Generic" scan tools are not able to access the ECM. The make and model of the tool will help me determine if the correct tool was used...

Keep me posted...

Thank you,

Robert

Is it possible for you to record a video of the engine running so I can have an idea as to what diagnostic route you should take?? IF you can, please post the video to YouTube and post a link here so I can review your video...

Keep me posted...

Thank you,

Robert

It was an obd 2 e.c.m. scan I will try and film engine running and send to you as soon as I canJust idle the engine does not do it get to 30 or 40 mpg and it starts doing it I call it bucking and missing

The AutoZone Code reader is not likely able to read codes from the ECM. I HIGHLY recommend to use a factory scan tool (DRBIII). If that is not an option something high end such as Snap on or Mac Tools Scanner.. Also, I recommend to run a flow test on the lift pump. A weak pump can cause rough running conditions..

Post any codes retrieved here and I can give you some additional helpful information..

Keep me posted and let me know if you have any additional questions...
